Yes looks like lot of SoC dtsi entries in downstream got it wrong.
I see upstream sm8250 also missed this. We learnt it the hard way
spending lot of time debugging why we are not able to reach the
console(because no timer interrupts) during bringup on a system
with kernel running in EL2(with VHE). I will try to reach out to
baseport guys to make sure they take care of it in future.

Thanks,
Sai
